with their heels touching and firmly planted.
When some difficult movements were execut-
ed the audience showed their appreciation by
applause, and at the close of the drill there
was continued clapping of hands. Though
the exhibition lasted nearly two hours, no
signs of restlessness were shown by the audi
ence. The directors of that branch OF the
curriculum are to be congratulated upon the
great success attained, and we feel assured
that the parents of the STUDENTS will heartily
thank them for the training given. We have
witnessed similar exhibitions by those who
have had years Of practice, but that on Friday
evening was nearly equal to the best. roll

Prof. Rinehart is gifted musician, and by
diligent study of his specially has reached an
enviable degree Of perfection. He is not Of
the kind that strives to bring out all the sound
in the instrument at once regardless of true
music, but he plays with that torcible express
sion, good taste, and exactness of :ouch that
makes him an artist. Mrs. Carnes, lady of
commanding presence, has rich contralto
voice of rare eXeelleqes and is teacher of
long experience. This, rs il y With Prot.
Rinehart, is Der first year at the College, and
they have both endeared themselves to the
school and especially To their own scholars.
Both instructors showed to great advantage
their efficiency as teachers through the per-
formanees of their scholars on this occasion.
Of course some numbers Of the program
were more favorahly received by the audience
than others, but this was due to the character
of the selections rather than the manner of
execution. Where all did so well il would be
tedious to enumerate the eXcellencies of the
individual performances, but we cannot re-
frain from mentioning the List solo Of Mrs.
Carnes and the Beethoven symphony by Prof
Rinehart and Miss Wilson, both Of which
were so exceptionally well given. One could
not desire more perfect example of LISTS
songs than the Loreley or u nearer approach
.rfN Of %
symphonies than was given in these perform

BACcALAUREATE SUNDAY.
From the experience Of past years, nothing
is so confidently expected on this day as
temperature capriciously tripping up in the
nineties, but this time all concerned were
most agreeably disappointed, for the weather
was all that heart could wish, beautifully
bright, and delightfully."- cool.
At 10 A. NJ. the long line of undergrad
yates, followed by the graduating class and
the Faculty filed doYn the main avenue
through the campus and proceeded to the
College Church in the town. A large au-
diepae vas awaiting their arrival, and looked
on admiringly as the noble company OF young
people filed up to the front seats reserved for

These words form at once the text and theme this

for our purpose with any other Scripture. But their
history is so thrilngy interesting that one finds 1t
